You probably already know, but for those who didn't/don't, the MG stood for Memphis Group as Booker T. Jones, Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn (replacing Lewis Steinberg) and the late Al Jackson Jr (he was shot and killed by a burglar in Memphis in 1975) were the 'house band' at STAX in Memphis and at the forefront of Memphis Soul/R&B and Soul in general for many years. :wink:
Thanks for the info Beach.
